Little Green
Joni Mitchell
This is simplified version of another tab The first is just passing bass note before the the second is the Chord if desired or played as G’s seem to be absent in other transcriptions but can make it more rythmically playable for us average fellas or not to each ones own. [Intro] | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [Verse 1] Born---------- with the moon in cancer Choose--------- her a name she will answer to Call her green and the winters cannot fade her Call her green for the children who’ve made her Little green--------- ...be a gypsy ...dancer--------! [Verse 2] He----------- went to Cali - fornia Hear------ing that everything’s warmer there So you write him a letter and say ’Her eyes are blue’ He sends you a poem and she’s lost to you Little green---- he’s a non - con - former! [Chorus] Just a little green Like the colour when the Spring is born---- There’ll be crocuses to bring to school to - morrow-------! Just a little green Like the nights when the northern lights per - form There’ll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes ...there’ll be sorrow-----------! [Verse 3] Child---------- with a child ...pretending------- Weary---------- of lies ...you are sending home So you sign all the papers in the family name You’re sad and you’re sorry but you’re not ashamed Now Little green------ ...have a happy ending-------! [Chorus] Just a little green Like the colour when the Spring is born---- There’ll be crocuses to bring to school to - morrow-------! Just a little green Like the nights when the northern lights per - form There’ll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes ...there’ll be sor------------row!
